Earnings Before Interest

Famous quotes containing the words earnings and/or interest:

“The earnings of a poet could be reckoned by a metaphysician rather than a bookkeeper.”

“Justice is a moral virtue, merely because it has that tendency to the good of mankind, and indeed is nothing but an artificial invention to that purpose. The same may be said of allegiance, of the laws of nations, of modesty, and of good manners. All these are mere human contrivances for the interest of society.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
